10 Wrestlers Who Had A Late Career Renaissance

1. Sting

If Undertaker had wrestled Sting at WrestleMania 31, like everyone except Triple H had wanted, The Phenom would have been 50, and The Icon would have been 56. 

That match never happened and, later that same year, The Stinger was supposedly retired for good after an errant Bucklebomb at the hands of Seth Rollins. Half a decade went by, until Sting showed up in AEW, making his shocking debut at Winter is Coming 2020. 

Though he initially performed in a pre-edited cinematic match, Sting soon transitioned back into actual in-ring work and, before long, he was the one getting worked over to build to a Darby Allin hot tag. And, of course, there’s all the stunts. Your 60s are a great time to discover new hobbies, but not many men that age discover a love for jumping off balconies or through tables. During his time with AEW, Sting proved that he is unlike any wrestler the world has ever seen and will see ever again. He finally retired at the age of 64.
